[Radio Wrangler]

Regarding the 7pin/9pin issue. I never did see that there was much point in sticking to the same format throughout a set. The valves were hardly going to be swapped around were they?

(I've just done your 6000mile service and rotated all the valves in the radio for even wear, sir.)

There will be a small saving in production over using two different types of holder, but that might be exceeded by the saving on 7 pins.

I suspect it was Philips telling the market what they ought to do.
